    Here's one from there

    Like a virgin touched for the thirty-first time. Artist: Madonna Song: Like a Virgin Real Lyric: Like a virgin touched for the very first time.

  • Back nearly 20 years ago Disney California Adventure (Anaheim, Cali) had this interactive exhibit where you did various things in line with the Disney animated kids movies. One was playing the Seven Dwarfs "Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off to work we go..."

    In a little alcove in front of a group of friends was another group of cute mid-teen little Latino girls. They were dressed somewhat provocatively for the average Disney guest and all were wearing bold makeup, (not judging, but they stood out). The typical Spanish accent was prevalent with the silent "h". Their innocent rendition as they sang along was hilarious. Happy as they could be they were singing, "I hoe, I hoe, it's off to work we go..."

  • Brimful of Asha by Cornershop.

    The title and the lyric are both "brimful of Asha", which has a double meaning. In the singer's native language 'Asha' means hope, and is also the name of an iconic Bollywood singer/dancer.

    What I heard was "grim poodle basher". Obviously it wasn't right, but I couldn't figure out the actual words just by listening harder.

  • I wish I didn't have to pee be so bad.

    -blink 182 - Wendy Clear

    and the most prominent

    I wore cologne walk alone to get the feeling right

    -blink 182 - What's My Age Again.

    Though sometimes when Tom and Mark performs live, they butchered some lines for some dumb jokes lol.

  • I had a friend in grade school that argued with me about the lyrics to Kenny Rodgers The Gambler. He was loudly and angrily certain the song said "You gotta know how to hold 'em" and would NOT hear my suggestion that it is really "when to hold 'em".

    The next day he quietly told me I was right.

  • Working with guys who's 1st language isn't English singing "Take me to Monkey Town", instead of "Take me to Funky Town."

  • My aunt once told me when one of my cousins was like 4 or 5, he was singing along to Band on the Run, but saying "Hand on the rug"

  • Billy Joel - She's Always a Woman

    She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me == a weasel-woman to me

  • Twenty years ago, Buffalo, NY. The Fat of the Land by Prodigy was still huge. A dancer in a strip club thought "Smack my Bitch Up" was "Snap my Picture". True story.

  • Not me personally, but I worked with a guy that always thought Secret Agent Man was Secret Asian Man.
